NickG Posted 27 October, 2013 Share Posted 27 October, 2013 I appreciate it is still early in the season, however by now you would normally have an idea who we want to drop points, who we are competing against. Still finding it hard to see Arsenal, Chelsea etc as our rivals and want them to drop points! We are now ¼ way through the season and competing at the top - are you starting to want mid table teams (who may have been seen as rivals preseason) to pick up points against top teams? I know we can't impact other games, and what will be will be! My guess - Top 4 will be Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City plus one from Liverpool, Spurs, Man U, Everton and us. So for us to have a chance reckon need Liverpool, Everton, Spurs and Man U to drop points. My prediction was top 8 and I think we should stay there. To be safe probably need Swansea, Newcastle, Villa and Hull to drop points. Can't see anyone else catching us. So today? Chelsea v Man C, draw/ home?? Sunderland beat Newcastle Swansea v West ham , away/ draw Spurs v Hull, Away / draw Next weekend looks interesting, Arsenal v Liverpool Everton v Spurs Was thinking, at end of last season we had people on here talking about aiming for top are deluded - is this first time fans ambitions don't match the chairman's this way around?!

ART Posted 27 October, 2013 Share Posted 27 October, 2013 I want to see Spurs drop out of the reckoning. We needs goals to keep up there against the likes of Chelsea and City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latheal Posted 27 October, 2013 Share Posted 27 October, 2013 In the mini league of the top 8 we are currently 2nd I think. Only City have maximum points there and Arsenal seem to have had the blessings of the Gods in their fixture list (only played Spurs at home). The league is so open at the moment, those games against the top 8 are massive for all involved for Euro places. It seems every week there's a big game now. Long may it continue!
